(2007-11-20) To DEC Or Not? That Is The Question!

As you may have heart or seen right now, the Directory Experts Conference is scheduled for March 2008 (2nd – 5th) in Chicago (pronounced like "Chic-a-go", remembered this from a "Married with Children" episode). Like this year and last year, I’m delivering a presentation. This year it is again about the RODC, which is a follow-up from this year’s (DEC2007) session. The information about my session is:

SESSION ABSTRACT: With Windows Server 2008, Microsoft implements a new type of DC that aids in mitigating the risks of placing a DC in a non-secure location and assigning permissions to non-Domain Admins on DCs.
